@andyfonseca3618 10 ай бұрын

Friend, God knitted you and all else that you said. However, just like me, you’re heart is full of sin. God our creator says that the soul who sins shall die, but God is merciful and sent His son (God in human flesh) to die that death we deserve. His name is Jesus and He bore the fullness of God’s wrath so that He or She who repents and believes in Jesus shall die naturally like everyone else, but live eternally with God in perfect fellowship. The moment you believe in the perfect work of Jesus, you and God will be at peace, and your sins will be forgiven totally. You’ll be the son or daughter of the very Creator who made you! Please repent and believe in Jesus, hell is real but so is God’s forgiveness through His Son.
